If Trump's insanity lasts for a year or so, we will see major tech US companies relocate substantial capabilities in Toronto and Vancouver. We will see it next in Canadian entrepreneurs and innovators who decide to stay put and not to migrate to the US, adding to local clusters. We will see this first in ability of Toronto/ Canada to attract global students, faculty and researchers to universities. I also expect that Canada and Toronto will act strategically to capitalize by upping efforts to reinforce tolerance and attract talent and tech.
I expect Canada and Toronto will gain substantially- the combination of great university, great city, proximity to US market. London, Paris, Hong Kong, Toronto, Vancouver, Stockholm Sydney, Melbourne, Dublin, Copenhagen, I could go on. The US could rest on its 'talent laurels.' But today, there are a handful of countries and dozens of global cities with great universities that can effectively compete for talent. This was less of a threat a decade or two ago when global competitors were less established.
Graduate students first, but senior faculty will begin to relocate as well. That talent will now choose to go elsewhere. The first place the impact will show up is our universities, where global talent fills our engineering and computer science departments. Even if the ban is lifted, the system has been shocked and global talent put on alert. "Trump's immigration insanity," he explained, "threatens the very core of America's innovative edge- the ability to attract global talent. Sunday morning, urbanologist Richard Florida, in a tweet storm, outlined how Trump was destroying America's brand- and economic future- in his first raucous week in the White House. “There is imminent danger that, absent the stay of removal, there will be substantial and irreparable injury to refugees, visa holders, and other individuals from nations subject to the Januexecutive order,” Donnelly said. Donnelly also wrote that the lawsuit would have a “strong likelihood of success.” It argued that the order violates a 1965 law that banned discrimination in immigration based on national origin. According to a copy of the court decision from Judge Ann Donnelly, it will stop officials from removing individuals with approved refugee applications, holders of valid visas and people from the affected countries who have been authorized to enter- pending completion of a hearing on the matter in court. The class action lawsuit sought an immediate injunction barring the Trump administration from blocking immigrants based on the executive order. Kennedy International Airport in New York as a result of the order. The court’s decision, which will affect people who have been detained in airports, came after the ACLU and other activist groups filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of two Iraqis who were held at John F. The American Civil Liberties Union announced Saturday evening that a federal court in New York had issued an emergency stay on President Trump’s executive order banning immigration from seven predominantly Muslim countries. He’s going to lose so much we’re going to get sick and tired of his losing." Their political director, Faiz Shakir said that "I hope Trump enjoys losing. The ACLU celebrated it's legal victories against the Trumpist Regime. Hitler didn't do it by himself he needed plenty of enablers and conspirators. There is confusion at airports and small minded, low-level little fascist-types, like the ones who worked in the concentration camps, will take advantage of the situation to behave with seemingly unaccountable brutality. Keep in mind that the Federal District Court in Boston issued a nationwide order barring detention or deportation of refugees, which the Trump Regime is already trampling. On the one it, it says that Trump's orders will remain in force and on the other hand it stated that the Regime will obey judicial orders. On Bannon's order, the Department of Homeland Security issued a statement Sunday morning that gave contradictory directions to airport staff.
